Cuba target of new travel restrictions
HAVANA — The Trump administration’s new restrictions on U.S. travel announced Tuesday eliminate U.S. cruise travel to Cuba and wipe out the most popular category of legal travel to the island, the group educational trips.
An expert on Cuban tourism says the Cuban state stands to lose $130 million per peak cruising season, which runs from November to June. With a drop in aid from Venezuela, Cuba has been counting on tourism to lift its stagnant economic fortunes. It imposed food rationing last month.
